The Green Bay Packers will start the 2024 NFL season in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6. Looking ahead, here are five keys to the game – and the season.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – On Sept. 6, the Green Bay Packers will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil to start the 2024 NFL season. The Packers have high expectations entering the season, but so do the Eagles after reaching the Super Bowl a year earlier.The Packers’ loss at the Eagles in 2022 was one of the most embarrassing defeats in franchise history.
The Eagles have a powerhouse offensive line and added former Giants star Saquon Barkley in free agency. They will have a great running game once again.Assuming Jaire Alexander returns to form, the Packers are set at one cornerback position. But how about the other?Injuries limited him to 69 coverage snaps last season, a figure reached by 160 cornerbacks league-wide. Stokes ranked 146th in completion percentage allowed and 158th in passer rating allowed, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Eagles have a new defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio. As the coordinator in Miami last year, the Dolphins set a franchise record with 56 sacks. One starting outside linebacker, Josh Sweat, ranked 14th in pressures last year, according to PFF. The other, Bryce Huff, trailed only the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons in PFF’s pass-rushing productivity, which measures sacks, hits and hurries per pass-rushing opportunity. Rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter had six sacks.
